Adjust with the seasons

Craig Mcgill | June 10

With Winter now well upon us, it’s time to make a few adjustments to our fishing style.

Lure fishing, so productive through the warmer months, will be all but shut down with the exception of trolling the deeper water for tailor, and maybe some bream spinning on the upper reaches of the Harbour.

You'll rarely see tailor feeding on the surface at this time of year. The best way to find them is by keeping a close eye on your sounder for large concentrations of baitfish.

Quite often you'll even find the tailor schools themselves, that will appear as larger shapes around or under the bait showings.

The tailor tend to concentrate around headlands and drop-offs on reef edges. Minnows that can dive to 5m or more are the way to go and the tailor bite tapers off rapidly after sunrise.
